A SIMILE is…when you compare two unlike
things using “like” or “as.”Example:Rosie’s smile is like sunshine on a cloudy day.
Example:Jonathan is as slow as a turtle
Example: The sun was as hot as dragon’s breath.
Remember, the two items must be unlike. Comparing Rita’s smile to sunshine is a simile.Comparing Rita’s smile to Lucy’s smile is not.

A METAPHOR is…when you compare two unlike
things without using “like” or “as.”
Example:My boss is a dragon, breathing fire at everyone
Example:You are such a snail today! Hurry up!
Example:The road was a ribbon of moonlight.
